The board OF education met in regular Sos
sion last evening at the council chamber.
President Allen, Brown, Caldwell, Camp
bell, Lewis Slaven. Taylor and Wingard.

by which it appeared there is now some
500 in the treasury.
Committee on teachers and salaries re-
ported that Miss Clark from New York and
Mss Fitch from Iowa had been employed as
teachers in the public schools; also that DIR.
Deweese had been employed as special teach

menled that they be accepted.

The recommendation OF the committee
and Superintendent that the salary Of a few
of the teachers be increased met with a good
deal of opposition from Lewis and Brown,
they thinking that that policy was cause
of constant turmoil and hard feeling among
the teachers. After the full discussion OF
! the subject, il which nearly all the members
took part Brown moved that the salaries
| of all the teachers now receiving s45 per
month he increased to $50 per month, which
| received a second from Lewis
! This motion seemed to meet with the ap-
probation OF the board, the members ex-
pressing themselves that they thought
/ Wichita could afford 70 pay that much for
good teachers, and if any were not worth
that amount that goood teachers could be
procured in their places This motion

The subject Of increase OF the superintend-
ents salary was brought up by Mr. Cald-
well. he favor ing It's increase.

A COMPANY
Called the ''Rapid Transit Company Formed
For Building q Motor Line in the South
east Portion of the City-Capital One
Hundred Thousand.

For some time there has been a scheme on
foot for building motor line in the south
east portion of the city. Up to ten days ago
the question had only been discussed byaa
number Of gentlemen, butino definite or Tag
gressive action taken.s At that.time meet
ing was called and a company formed which
launches out under the style of Rapid Tran
sit Company" Yesterday tie charter was
granted, and the following gentlemen viii
serve as officers for the ensuing year: Pres
;dent, D. P Alexander, cepresident,
Charles Eicholtz secretary, j. F. Sherman,
treasurer, Henry Schweiter. Messrs. a. w.
Denming, c. Teter. ". A. Richie ard Mr..
Israel. also are stockholders. The company
has capital stock of 100000.
The exact location of the lire has not been
determined. An initial point is desired on
Douglas avenue between Main street and
Fourth avenue The company is not espe-
cially anxious for any one street, but desire
the question TO be mainly settled by the
property owners Petitions viii be set in
circulation today with the view OF ascertain
ing the mind Of the people concerning which
street shall be used.
There is no doubt but that the ordinance
asking the council for a franchise VIII be
presented to that body at its next msetiug,
which will be next Monday night.
1t is probably not definite as To what
motor will he used Some investigation of
this question has been made, and the most
favorable report comes from new steam
motor called the "Noiseless Motor" 1t is
now used in forty of the principal cities III
the United States. IT'S distinguishing fea-
ture is in the fact that the exhaust from the
cylinders and smoke is drawn into ali ex-
haust chamber, which is done at the expense
of all noise and odor, and is set free in the
form of a-colorless vapor. As will he readi-
" seen, this motor is free from two objec-
tions that are usually urged with vigor-
noise and smoke. Unless something better
is found the council will be asked to accept
it. 1t is made by Baldwin locomotive

WHOLESALE HOUSE
Handling Cured and Canned Meats Located in
the Metropolis by Pennsylvania Capital.

Mr.. L. L. Smith, of Pittsburg, Pennsylva
MIA, some days ago bought three lots on
Mosley avenue between Third street
and Central avenue upon which he will erect
large brick building which will be used III
wholesaling cured and canned meats. Mr..
Smith has been engaged in that business in
his native state for number of years, and
having come TO the conclusion that the
chances to succeed in q similar business west
were at least deserving of an investigation,
over two months ago start. 4 on a western
prospecting tour. He visited Lincoln and
Omaha, Nebraska, Kansas City and all the
larger cities of Kansas before reaching q
point that gave him complete satisfaction.
Near two weeks ago he arrived in this city
and quietly took observations. He carefully
examined the merits of the surrounding
country and the shipping facilities Of the
metropolis and decided that this city COM
manded better facilities for wholesaling
than any others be had visited, and especial
" were the inducements for his business en-
couraging.
He came here and decided upon the gues-
ton at issue before allowing anyone TO know
his object. He secured the site also before
property owners had Il chance to imagii e
that it was big concern aud hence think
the site worth several thousand dollars more.
Having made all the necessary arrange
ments for the enterprise, 1t was then time
that TIE ever eager public shouid have tie
good news.
The style of the company that will start
the establishment is L. l.. Smith & Com
pany. The capital interested il the estab-
ishment is furnished 10y a number of gen
tiemen from Pennsy ivania. MI. Smith is
the leading stockholder and Will manage the
business. 1t will take near $4,000 TO put Ill
the first stock The building VIII necessarily
have to be good one. Plans for it have
not been fully decided upon. Mr.. Smith has
a general idea of the building and has one
OF the leading architects in the city working
upon the plans. As SON as the weather adj
mits working to an advantage work will
commence on the building.

Mathew Grant Jones was born in Fauquier

country was an untrodden and unexplored

to be the oldest Mason in the United States.
His--sons. DR.. J.. j. Jones and DR.. NJ. q. Jones,
residents of our city had of late been at

~ and connection with Masonry. From

BRuSH FACTORY
Located in Wichita, Which Will Cost One
Hundred Thousand Dollars and En-
ploy One Hundred Hands.

For some years Mr. j. p. Morgan has been
2 member of the firm of Hirshal, Morgan &
Co. of Buffalo, New York. The firm en-
ploys several hundred hands in making
brushes of all kinds.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Morgan sold his in
terest in the firni and Immediately after do
ing so started west to look for a suitable site
for starting a similar factory. He says that
for years he has heard many complimentary
things of Wichita, ard decided before start
inc to visit the city and inspect its merits
with an eye to business. Before reaching
this city he visited Omaha, Kansas City, To
peka and Emporia. He arrived some weeks
ago and told 70 one his bust.
ness for some time. All the
while he was busy collecting data
concerning the merits Of Wichita and Kan
sas. The attempts of real estaters to draw
his mind from his central idea were futile
until he had fully decided upon modus op-
erandi Having determined what he would
do be secured site for his factory on Mosiey
avenue, between Third street and Central
avenue 2 That having been done he then
made known his intentions to a few of his
new acquaintance.
He says.that heswill make. in his factory
as great variety Of brushes as are beng
made in the New York factory with which
he has been connected. He VIII commence
work with a force of enc hundred hands and
he thinks that capacity viii in a short time

that can be supplied from this point. There
is no similar institution west of st. Louis
which gives quite territory where there
viii scarcely be any competition The loca-
ton is considered altogether desirable and
this fact gives courage to Mr.. Morgan and
places the success of the enterprise beyond a
doubt.
Mr. Morgan has not as yet fully decided
upon the plan of the building he will erect
He is now giving that phase of the question
thought, and as soon as arriving at a con-
clusion will commence. To place the factory
ready for running will cost something near
500, GOO. 1t is hoped to have the building
completed and all machinery in place by
September.
As would be inferred from the above, Mr..
Morgan said nothing about bonus when
he came to the city. That feature, SO often
first presented, he neglected, and decided to
start his own factory with his own money,
thinking that the location was sufficient to
insure success without attempting to draw a
fund from the city.
